Ep. 7 – Bucket List y Sueños Pendientes

What’s on your bucket list? What dreams have you put off — not because you forgot about them, but because life just kept happening?

In this episodio, we’re opening up about those long-held sueños pendientes — the ones we whisper to ourselves late at night or tuck away for “some day.” Whether it's an aventura, a personal goal, or a quiet longing for más, we’re saying them out loud. Because it’s never too late to honor the parts of ourselves we’ve been putting on hold.

We talk about why we delay our sueños — familia, miedo, finances, or simply feeling like it’s “too late.” We reflect on what we still want to do just for us, how cultura and expectations can get in the way, and what it means to reclaim our deseos in midlife.

This episodio was inspired by @the.traveling.maestra, who’s currently walking the Camino de Santiago – French Route, fulfilling one of her own bucket list sueños. Her journey reminded us that pursuing joy, healing, and propósito can start at any time, and that our stories are still being written.

🎙️ No Sabemos Pero Opinamos is a Spanglish podcast by two Mexicanas navigating midlife with humor, honesty, and corazón. We hold space every week for real conversaciones about identidad, cultura, motherhood, aging, mental health, and all the messy in-between.

Porque los sueños no caducan — and it’s never too late to start again.
